Just below the foot bridge is a big section of hard shoulder. The cars are going quite fast but I got a ride to the airport in 20 minutes. These sections of hard shoulder can also be found closer into the city, nobody seemed to care that I was thumbing such a big fast road.Only problem was low sun in the evening burning the drivers eyes. Had fun english conversation with a lovley driver. Thumb only.

We waited long. Many tourists probably drove after the attractions, but when we wrote the card Reykjavik we catch in faster than with a thumb―Anonymous

Large road with a large bus stop (it's covered, so you can use it as a shelter when it's raining). Lots of people driving downtown, useful for outbound hitches as well.―Anonymous

There aren't really any good spots here, but Bus number 1 from Reykjavik stops very near by (When you reach Hafnarfjörður, just ask the driver to let you know when you're close to Reykjanesbraut) and you'll kind of have to walk along the road with your finger out. The road shoulder is not bad though, so cars can stop if they see you in time. Not good, but it works.―Anonymous

I usually got a ride here in less than 2 minutes. Has enough space for cars to pull down, simply perfect! [AdrianB] -HUNGAROHITCH for prez!―Anonymous

Didn't wait at all, the first Icelandic car I waved down stopped :DHitching in Iceland in October was unbelievably easy - the first day I got 7 rides east on the Ring Road and didn't wait once over 5 minutes. Icelanders pick up so much and so fast. They told me in the summer it gets really crowded with hitch-hikers and they often don't have space, so I was apparently lucking out on hitching in the fall :) Was a bit chilly and dark to camp out though.
Hitching up to Höfn couldn't be easier, than I had to wait my time, beacuse a car passed maybe every 20 minutes. From Höfn to Egilsstaðir, and up to Akureyri is the hardest part (waited 2 hours once as so little passed by), then from Akureyri it gets really easy again.

This is a really good place for hitching down south towards the coast. Had to wait about 10-15 minutes. I would walk onto the highway ramp to catch as many cars as possible.―Pseudodoc

I got a ride from here to Mosfelsbaer. Maybe I was lucky. Not the best place to hitchhike.―Anonymous
